Specifically about hard ride and road noise it would seem - see comments in:

Any comments from among the few here who have taken delivery or had an extended drive? Must say that the one aspect that has been concerned me somewhat about the CA spec is the low profile tyres (40 profile is it?).
I'm never sure why the makers of 'sporty' model versions feel the need to push the envelope on wheel size & tyre profiles so much - most of us are never going to driving their car at the absolute limit or using it on track days. Other than their more extreme models, Porsche for instance seem to understand the importance of adequate tyre compliance and never push tyre profiles to the limit, yet continue to be recognised as probably the best in the business for combining grip & roadholding with a decent wedge of comfort.
